Hi Patrick,
I understand your frustration.
However I am quite interested in the solution? Was a flash player
upgrade enough to solve the issue? Was there any other potential work
around?
What was the code exactly that was not working?
I am sure pretty much all the developers on this list would like to be
aware of any browser incompatibilities.
Thanks and Keep your head up...
